Japan issues tsunami alert after powerful 7.6 earthquake strikes Misawa region
Japan issued a tsunami alert on Monday evening after a powerful 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck off the northeastern coast, underscoring once again the intense seismic activity that defines the region. According to the United States Geological Survey, the earthquake was recorded 73 kilometres east-northeast of Misawa city. The tremor occurred at 7:45 pm local time and was measured at a depth of 53.1 kilometres, placing it within the shallow earthquake category that often results in stronger g

Japan Scientists Create 3D Ionosphere Model After Noto Earthquake Reveals Space Impact
An earthquake’s effects are not confined to the ground—it can send invisible shockwaves high into the atmosphere, affecting even space-based technology. Researchers from a university in Japan have recently achieved a groundbreaking milestone by creating the world’s first 3D visualization of how seismic activity disturbs the ionosphere, the charged layer of the atmosphere that sits between 60 and 1,000 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. The study focused on the power
